Strictly studio 'falls apart' as Rose and Giovanni perform perfect final dance

Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice had fans in tears as they performed their final dance on Strictly Come Dancing.

The Manchester actress and her pro dance partner reprised their quickstep to Love Is an Open Door from Frozen and their stunning silent dance from earlier in the series in honour of the deaf community.

And in the final they performed an exquisite showdance to the appropriately named The Rose which scored a perfect 40 from the judges on the BBC dance show.

Judge Anton du Beke was so overwhelmed he couldn't look at EastEnders star Rose, who is the BBC dance show's first deaf contestant.

"I can't look at you," he told her.

"Forgive me for not looking at you or I'll cry."

Host Claudia Winkleman said 'we're all falling apart.'

And viewers took to Twitter to say they were a 'wreck.'

@itsamy_xo tweeted: "THEY ARE DETERMINE TO HAVE ME CRY ALL MY TEARS TONIGHT."

@iamjustshannon said: "OMG IM BALLING."

@ACWright admitted: "OK I'm a mess."

@siobhanliadoyle said: "Iʼm a wreck, guys."

Afterwards a tearful Rose told Claudia: "I've become more me than I've ever been because of Strictly."
